...artwork. “She had a lurid imagination, and her fascination with sexual organs, also seen in the drawings in her journal and in a number of her paintings, burst forth in the ‘exquisite corpses.’” (Frida 162). What The Water Gave Me and Self Portrait Dedicated to Marte R Gomez, pencil on paper were painted by Frida Kahlo in 1938 and 1946 respectively.

...What do I want to keep for the rest of my life? If people could keep something that is special them what would it be? Maybe something from their childhood, or maybe something from their family that has been passed down. The items I would keep that are special to me would be my grandmother’s quilt, my rings that my grandmother gave me, and my dad’s fishing poles. I chose these items because each one means a lot to me in their own ways. Many people would choose other items but these are items I would not want to lose. One of the items I would want to keep would be my grandmother’s quilt. It is neatly folded in a grey cardboard box under my bed. The quilt is dark blue and light green with patterns of circles and squares. Its soft and you can feel the edges of the height of the circles and squares. The quilt has the scent of my grandmother’s perfume, and also reminds me of the smell of the hospital she used it in. Her quilt reminds me the way she laughed and how she would sing in the hospital to pass time. It also reminds me of the taste of a milkyway candy bar she use to eat. This quilt is vey important to me because she used it so many times and I would like to use it too, and it has so many memories within it. Another thing I would want to keep would be my rings that my grandmother gave me. They are in my jewelry box on my dresser in my room. They are gold and have three diamonds. The diamonds are white and very shiny, and have a big center stone and two smaller ones...

...David and Luke were the ones protecting us from the infected people. They killed at least 20 of them. On the fifth day I stumbled across a hospital. I thought we should go inside of it and see what we could do with it. Almost every single light bulb was out. They were flickering too. The walls had smeared bloodstains on them. It was one of the scariest places I've ever been. I clung to Michelle. As we were going through the hospital, little did we know what would be coming ahead. Luke turned a corner and there were 12 infected people right in front of us. I turned around to run, but there were more behind us. We couldn't do anything but try to defeat them. Luke and David killed at least half of them in front of us, but they couldn't stop the ones from behind. One infected person grabbed me at the ankle. I stumbled and screamed and fought for my life. It was no use. I was done for. I was infected now. As I was being dragged away I saw David running. He killed the most of the infected people all around me. Except one. One touched him and he was infected too. David saved me from dying. David and I were put in a safe, quarantined room. Nobody was to go in or out. The group searched the rest of the hospital. Christine said the Luke found something in a lab that could be a cure to the...

...Encounter with someone or something that frightened you “Class is over, please submit your homework to me as you leave.” ordered Mrs. Tetteh with a stern look like that of a prison warden. Her ram-rod demeanour was enough to scare the living daylights out of anyone but me. At that moment, I surreptitiously made my way towards the door .Suddenly I was drawn back, I turned my head and much to my dismay it was her. “I haven’t received your homework, so where are you going to?” she asked earnestly. I snapped back, “To get my bag, it has my homework.” “Well, if you haven’t noticed your bag is under your table so please hurry up and submit your homework, I haven’t got all day!” she gruffly replied. I shuffled to my chair thinking of an excuse to give to her, I then emptied the contents of my bag on to my desk. “Oh! Mrs. Tetteh I forgot my homework at home.” “Well it is sad to say that you will be detained today and you will do the homework you forgot” she sardonically replied. She then continued but in a much lower tone, “I would have given you a good beating to knock some sense into you and perhaps the rest of your rotten classmates; however the government has made capital punishment illegal”. She sighed “Ahh, back in my day, beating was the order of the day, any mistake you get one, but this modern generation and all their child rights nonsense, after all spare the rod spoil the child.” I vehemently protested, “I swear I did it!” “You will be detained from 2:30-3:30.” I sat down...

...out for the operational test of this boat, as always I gave a detailed brief to my crew. I instructed my lead mechanic Kevin to come with me on the safety boat and gave Steve the helm on the test boat. Prior to us placing the boats into the water I instructed Steve to be gentle with the boat; it had a few hours of break-in or run-in time that needed to be completed prior to opening it wide and completing the operational test. I informed Steve that he needs to keep an eye on the oil pressure and the RPM gauge to insure that the engine was running as designed. Steve was a seasoned Navy engineman but not a skilled mechanic, I stressed the importance to him and the only words out of his mouth was “don’t worry I got this.” We started out into the water and everything was working as designed, I kept in contact with Steve via a hand held radio, and he kept reading me the engine RPM’s and oil pressure. I would gather the information and analyze the data, and radio back to him that it was ok to continue. This went on for hour and no problems to report. I gave Steve permission to do a full power run and stressed to him if the oil pressure drops at all to back out of the full power run, and we evaluate the situation. We took of down the river with Steve in front so I could evaluate the engine from behind I noticed that the rebuilt engine was starting to hop in the water which is a sign that it is dragging I radio to Steve to ask him what the oil pressure was and at that exact time we hear a...

...now is a bit different with other college level English classes. Before you start working on my assignment, I want you to read the course description of my class. Course Description: Texting the World brings together literary and nonliterary texts and considers how the same theme plays through them via analysis, evaluation, and creation of said texts. This particular section of ENG 200 is devoted to the theme of The Sea. Artists and writers have long found inspiration from the sea. In this course, we’ll examine representations of the sea throughout history, with an emphasis on contemporary and classical literature, as well as art, poetry, scholarship, and film.

Assignments are designed to help you use writing as a learning tool and to improve your written communication abilities. You will be asked to complete a variety of low-, medium-, and high-stakes assignments, including informal writing tasks, collaborative in-class work, and longer written assignments, in order to help you become adept at analyzing texts and conveying ideas through writing.This course is situated in the following three core domains: a) Aesthetic and Artistic Thinking, b) Oral, Written, and Visual Communication c) Social, Ethical, and Historical Thinking ...

...Beverly and their precious little baby boy. My brother George was with us also. Mr. Williams is a longtime deacon at my church I have much respect for him. I call him my godfather due to the time he spends with me and gives me some good advice when I need. I was ready to help get the boat in the water; he said earlier he would let me drive the boat some. That made me so happy, but I tried to hide it. Everyone else didn't seem very excited about the trip. I tried to get my brother excited about it. I asked him why you’re not excited. He said "I just want to fish" with the sound of depression in his voice. I asked him "why are you acting like this?" He didn't say a word, he just looked away. After all fishing is his favorite hobby, so that really puzzled me. I told him let's embrace this blessing that Mr. Williams let us go with them fishing, let's make this trip interesting. We all got ready to unload the boat in the water. Mr. Williams told me what to do and how to do it, since this was my first time unloading a boat. Little did I know that it would take five people? Mrs. Brenda drove the truck, backing the boat and the trailer up in the water, Mr. Williams and Junior was unfastening the boat from the trailer. My brother and I had to hold the boat once it was lowered in water. I tied the rope to the hook in front of the boat and held the other end in my hand. We had to do this to keep the boat from floating off in the lake. If that were to happen, then this would make the worst trip...

...» April 22, 2011 — Ritual fasting has been part of religious traditions for thousands of years, from Muslims who fast during daylight hours in the month of Ramadan to Mormons who take a regular break from food the first Sunday of each month. But a recent growing body of research shows that abstaining from food intermittently may have physical as well as spiritual benefits — the latest, a study from Utah researchers that found that occasional fasts (defined as extended periods of time in which people generally abstain from all food and drink except for water) may reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Google “fasting for health” and you’ll get more than 7 million hits, ranging from doctors who recommend it in their practices to treat a range of diseases, spas that promise detoxifying food-free vacations, and message board postings from devotees who say that fasting makes them feel clearer mentally and more fit. “I fast whenever my body feels like it needs a reboot,” says Yoli Ouiya, 31, a New York City blogger who writes about eco-friendly living. She fasts once every few months. But is fasting a good idea for your health? Possibly, says David Katz, MD, MPH, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University. Every day, organs such as the liver, kidney, and spleen work to remove and neutralize toxins from the body to keep our cells healthy. “When you fast, you eliminate input of additional toxins from food,” says Dr. Katz, “and there is a potential biological...

...emptiness comes over me. I have so much I want to say to you. As I think about you, three distinct memories of you stand out in my mind: when you broke the swimming record, the moment when I jounced the limb, and our last conversation in the Infirmary room. I truly was shocked, Phineas. It was the first time I realized that you simply didn’t just perform these daredevil antics to show off; you went through the motions to prove yourself. I remember your indignantance to the fact that “A. Hopkins Parker” had his name on that plague for a solid two years, and no man nor swimmer had dared defy the odds and beat it. I remember how pristine the aquamarine pool was, how casually you perched...

...Abstract Learning and researching about my culture background has given me the purpose of who I am and where I want to go in life. Everything to the Navajo is very sacred and interrelated. Being a Native American of the Navajo tribe, I have identified my clanship; I have a purpose on this beautiful spiritual journey on this corn pollen road. Spiritual Journey In our way of life, the Navajo way of living, we have to know where we come from and where we are going in life. The first time I had ever heard of the Hero Twins story was from a medicine man. Long ago, a woman named changing woman had given birth to twins. During the day, they would play outside of their Hogan, with their mother, changing woman, watching over them to make sure they were safe from the monsters. One day, one of the monsters wanted changing woman for himself because he thought she was childless and went to their home, changing woman quickly hid her twins. When the monster asked “whose footprints are these”? Changing woman lied saying she made them herself, as she made prints with her hand and fingers, saying she is very lonely and wanted to make it look like someone has been coming to visit. As the hero twins got older and wiser, they started asking their mother who their father was. Changing woman kept saying you have no father. Eventually, changing woman finally gave in and told them if you really want to know who your father is, you must travel east to find your father...

...PROLOGUE GILGAMESH KING IN URUK I WILL proclaim to the world the deeds of Gilgamesh. This was the man to whom all things were known; this was the king who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, he brought us a tale of the days before the flood. He went on a long journey, was weary, worn-out with labour, returning he rested, he engraved on a stone the whole story. When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body. Shamash the glorious sun endowed him with beauty, Adad the god of the storm endowed him with courage, the great gods made his beauty perfect, surpassing all others, terrifying like a great wild bull. Two thirds they made him god and one third man. In Uruk he built walls, a great rampart, and the temple of blessed Eanna for the god of the firmament Anu, and for Ishtar the goddess of love. Look at it still today: the outer wall where the cornice runs, it shines with the brilliance of copper; and the inner wall, it has no equal. Touch the threshold, it is ancient. Approach Eanna the dwelling of Ishtar, our lady of love and war, the like of which no latter-day king, no man alive can equal. Climb upon the wall of Uruk; walk along it, I say; regard the foundation terrace and examine the. masonry: is it not burnt brick and good? The seven sages laid the foundations THE COMING OF ENKIDU GILGAMESH went abroad in the world, but he met with none who could withstand his arms till be came to Uruk. But the men...
